The purpose of this dissertation is threefold. Firstly, a brief presentation is given concerning the history of "composition with twelve tones related only to one another" and the basic techniques it adheres to. ...

A study of the A2 meson has been made on data obtained from
pi p interactions at 5 BeV/c in the 72"Alvarez liquid hydrogen bubble
chamber. The p pi decay mode in the 4-constraint, p pi+ pi- pi- final state is
treated ...

A. Soybean samples were collected from seven different locales in Central Illinois and subjected to analysis for chlorinated pesticides. Different parts of the beans showed varying levels of residue concentrations. It was ...

In this work we present a quantum-chemical calculation of the electronic spin-orbit splittings for the spatially degenerate low-lying E$^\prime$ and E$^{\prime\prime}$ states of the nitrate radical (NO$_3$). The calculation ...

Self-consistent unrestricted Hartree-Fock calculations are presented for the adsorption of atomic oxygen onto the nickel oxide (100) surface. The perfect surface is shown to be non-reactive, but enhanced binding is found ...

The C$_3$Ar and C$_3$Ne complexes have four large amplitude vibrations. These are the in- and out-of-plane C$_3$ bending motions, and the two van der Waals vibrations. Assignment of the spectra of the complexes is therefore ...
